Audi
has launched the second generation R8. The new R8 is available in two different
versions both equipped with a V10 engine. The V8 will not make a comeback in
this generation R8, although an E-tron version has been confirmed and an
entry-level version is on the cards with a turbocharged engine. The Audi R8 is
still very recognizable as a R8. At first sight in Geneva it looked almost like
a face-lift. But in reality the R8 is wider, lower and has a more aggressive
appearance. In V10 Plus spec, the large rear wing adds to the visual
appearance.
Talking about the exhaust, the
V10 delivers an incredible sound. The high revving naturally aspirated V10 is a
dying breed and Audi deserves credits for launching the new R8 with this
phenomenal sounding V10.
The Audi R8 V10, R8 LMS and R8
E-tron have been developed at the same time and you can tell the road car has a
lot of racing elements from the R8 LMS that already participated in the 24
Hours of Nurburgring in May. But at the same time, the R8 V10 includes a lot of
convenience features including Google Maps navigation, climate control, laser
lights and Bang & Olufsen sound.
